Materials

  • **For the Beef Marinade:**
  • - 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak thinly sliced
  • - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • **For the Stir-Fry:**
  • - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • - 4 cups broccoli florets
  • - 1 bell pepper sliced
  • - 1 large carrot thinly sliced
  • - 3 cloves garlic minced
  • - 1 tablespoon ginger minced
  • - 2 green onions chopped
  • **For the Sauce:**
  • - 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • - 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • - 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • - 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • - 1/4 cup beef broth or water

Instructions

  • **Marinate the Beef**:
  • - In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, cornstarch, and rice vinegar. Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade, tossing to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  • **Prepare the Sauce**:
  • - In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, and beef broth or water. Set aside.
  • **Stir-Fry the Vegetables**:
  • - Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets, bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
  • **Stir-Fry the Beef**:
  • - In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Add the minced garlic and minced ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.
  • **Combine and Cook**:
  • - Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the beef. Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir in the chopped green onions.
  • **Serve**:
  • - Serve the beef and broccoli stir-fry hot over steamed rice or noodles.
